She didn't want to be reminded of her past or how different her present was from the future she'd taken for granted.

Dreams guide you to the future. Dreams remind you of the past. Whether awake or asleep, dreams keep you thinking in the present.

Remember your past ,dream for your future but live in the present.

There is the past, and there is the future. The present is never more than the single second dividing one from the other. We live poised on that second as it's hurtling forward—toward what?

The past was gone and the future had yet to unfold, and he knew he should focus his life on the present…yet his day-to-day existence suddenly struck him as endless and unbearable.

There's no future in spending our present worrying about our past.
